Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party has castigated Tanga Tanga faction of Jubilee for blaming the Interior ministry for the loss of Jubilee candidate in Kibra by-election.
In a tweet, the party called on the group to stop complaining and accept that MacDonald Mariga lost in the minipoll.
ODM further called on the team,which is perceived to be supporting the deputy president William Ruto to avoid 'dragging' CS Fred Matiang'i and the PS Karanja Kibicho in their loss since the accusations could not hold water.
Furthermore, the party alleged that it won fairly in the by-election while the Jubilee candidate was rejected by the residents because the party had 'bad manners'.
"Tangatanga should stop juvenile/infantile tirades over the just concluded Kibra by-election. Dragging the names of CS @FredMatiangi & his PS @Karanjakibicho into their agony of losing the by-election does and cannot wash. ODM won clean. Their bad manners were thwarted by Kibrans," read the tweet.
Benard Imran Okoth (ODM) won the recently concluded Kibra by-election.MacDonald Mariga (Jubilee) who emerged second conceded defeat and congratulated the winner.
The mini-poll was marred with violence whereby, Jubilee leaders including legislators like Didmus Baraza (Kimilili) and Oscar Sudi (Kapseret) became victims.
14 Tanga Tanga MPs who are allied to Dp Ruto have accused the interior ministry of colluding with ODM officials to instigate violence during the by-election day.
Led by Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung'wah, the lawmakers want the interior ministry to bear the responsibility of the post-mini-poll violence.
